The Divine Dish

Tasting Dinner at Table 10, Palazzo, Las Vegas

Table 10

While I was in Vegas for the launch of the new Carnivale summer series of events at the Venetian and Palazzo, the nice folks at Palazzo also set me up with a dinner at Emeril Lagasse’s  eatery Table 10.  The restaurant is named after the table in New Orleans where the Food Network star began planning his restaurant empire.  The French Quarter iron gates at the entrance lend a New Orleans vibe, and the round metal-crafted center bar, glass enclosed wine cellar and display cases full of pantry supplies and chef’s jackets provide a casual upscale environment.

The menu features a roadmap of flavors, including the seafood and andouille gumbo or the Cuban pork sandwich.  Diners are welcome  at the food bar for a front row view of the big exhibition kitchen, at the Center Bar in the middle of all the floor action, or at a variety of indoor and outdoor tables.

I sampled a nice variety of dishes starting with a lovely fresh grilled nectarine salad over spinach with parmesan cheese.

Second course was a duo of buttery succulent seared scallops over a truffle corn puree and topped with a bacon onion marmalade.   Delicious.

My main dish was a nice Colorado filet mignon with crushed Wiser Farm heirloom potatoes and a beurre fondue, topped with a very tasty heap of roasted beef marrow.  I loved this dish. My waitress also brought out some tasty candied North County Farm bacon.  Very rich and very satisfying.

For dessert I received a huge platter of a bunch of lovely sweet homey cakes, pies and tarts.
